One thousand years from now, humanity live pastoral lives aided by psychokinetic powers and the subservient Monster Rats. Saki Watanabe has just come of age, and her power has been reined in through meditation and hypnosis.

There are a lot of parallels between these two animes, where kids are living in a dystopian world trying to survive. They both have great world building and exploration too. I thoroughly enjoy both of them!

Satoru Fujinuma is a reclusive part-timer with no plans for the future. What sets him apart from the other slackers in his town is an involuntary time travel ability that allows him to jump back several seconds in time in order to prevent accidents and even deaths. As incidents around town begin reminding Satoru of a childhood trauma he'd sooner forget, he...

Both are interesting thrillers involving children that will keep you at the edge of the seat. The background is probably different, but the themes are somewhat similar. I really recommend both of them.

Those two animes have a totally different storyline, although it is interesting to see their common points. They both tell stories about kids and how they have to escape from a difficult and set up situation.

Emma, Ray, and Norman (from The Promised Neverland) are very intelligent children that go through difficult, and mature, steps to keep everyone safe in their toxic world filled with demons. Satoru Fujinuma (from ERASED) is also a child that goes through a difficult situation to keep his peers safe from a murderer. However, this story deals with time travel instead of demons. He returned to the past to help save his classmate, Kayo Hinazuki, from being murdered.

If you like suspense, mystery, action, and amazing animations: both are worth the watch (and read, too)!

The more I think about it the more similarities I find between these two series. Both have dark and interesting themes. I really enjoyed both of them and I find it strange that there's no recommendation so far. I would point out more similarities, but I really want to avoid spoilers.

Both series feature a plot that is filled with despair. They both have young people going through their own forms of sadness after their life was change and subverted in a dark way unaware to them. Both do see similar endings in terms of good/bad but the emotional strings this anime pulls on are very similar and feature supernatural like elements
